Hanvon announces 5 new ebook readers
I missed this announcement in the mad rush that is CES. Better late than never.
from the press release: Quote:
Hanvon had 4 models on display at CES, and they are planning to bring out 5 more models some time in 2010. All 4 current models have support for Adobe DRM. Two of the 4 can be bought in the USA through Amazon and Fry's, and at least 3 different models are available in Europe (N516, N518, N520, N520). Hanvon N500
Hanvon N618
Hanvon N628
Hanvon N638
Hanvon N800

Good stuff, thanks Nate.
I just wish some of these companies would pay a proper translator or at least not use Google translate for product descriptions: Quote:

I couldn't locate any of these new devices on the Hanvon site yet. I wonder what the button set up is in the lower right of the N628 and N800; kind of looks like a fingerpad but it seems like some button inside it?

Thanks m-reader.
I still only see the four currently out models there. Perhaps my wording wasn't clear. I meant I couldn't see any news/information about the five unreleased models on the site (even in their own news section). |

Sorry Javed, you are right - I just compared the pics Nate posted. No match ...

I had the chance to check out the N520 when I was in China last year and it was a gorgeous little machine but at the time it only had a chinese language menu.
Really want one of these now.. the price was really good and it was really light, hopefully they have released these new ones in China or will do so soon! |

I looked at their Chinese language website and couldn't find any of the new models either.

Not really impressed by the range of supported book formats. Only one of those models (the largest and presumably the most expensive) support Epub? And one of them only supports Txt, Pdf, and HTML?
